Package: emacs
Version: 27.0.50
Severity: minor

Ref: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/81615914

I've seen some flymake test failures like the following a few times.
Perhaps some timeout needs to be increased.

    Test included-c-header-files condition:
        (ert-test-failed "Some backends not reporting yet (flymake-cc)")
       FAILED  4/9  included-c-header-files (10.545006 sec)

    Test perl-backend condition:
        (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
       FAILED  5/9  perl-backend (0.289559 sec)

    Test recurrent-backend condition:
        (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
       FAILED  6/9  recurrent-backend (0.005780 sec)

    Test warning-predicate-function-gcc condition:
        (ert-test-failed "Some backends not reporting yet (flymake-cc)")
       FAILED  8/9  warning-predicate-function-gcc (5.444343 sec)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Glenn,

Thanks.

Increasing timeouts, in my experience, rarely solves these problems (still,
if you suspect one in particular, feel free to adjust it).  It's usually a
case of unusual process scheduling in the ci machine that my code isn't
accounting for.  It'd be better to analyze the code to figure out what
might be happening (Something that I haven't done yet...) Also IIRC there's
a reference  in the test code to a mysterious existing bug somewhere...

Maybe someone with deeper knowledge of Emacs's processes can take a look
too.

Thanks again,
João

For what it's worth, the flymake tests typically fail for me on master. I 
normally test on Fedora 28 x86-64 on a circa-2010 AMD Phenom II X4 910e. Log 
file attached.

Hi Paul, this test failure is compatible with a problem with GCC 8.2
that I recently fixed in 04d3315271cd1357fbbc192505d00c760be02952.  Can
you check if your compiler's version?  If it doesn't report the column
for "In file included from" errors, it would have triggered the failure
before my fix.

It's gcc (GCC) 8.2.1 20181215 (Red Hat 8.2.1-6).

I'm not observing the error now; thanks.

I guess we can close this bug, then.

I don't object, but for the record Paul's issue has nothing to do with
the original report.

You're right. I read the Paul's "typically" as the "unstable" bit.

You can reopen the bug.

How often would you say this happens on hydra, Glenn?

From paging through

https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk/evals

the last time was Dec 26

https://hydra.nixos.org/build/86281444

I had hoped 7ca9bb7 would avoid this, but apparently not.
If it means anything, all the errors were "Selecting deleted buffer"
that last time.
